JHS 2017 ROR Workshop: Discussion Questions for Consideration for Breakout Groups

• Considerations and Recommendations o How do CLIA regulations impact the return of individual-level research results to study

participants? o Do/should HIPAA direct access rights factor in to the decision to return research results? o Is there an ethical obligation/responsibility for researchers to return results to participants

in long-running cohort studies like JHS? o How could/should the consent process be modified to adequately inform and prepare

participants for the possibility of receiving (potentially harmful) genetic results?

• Procedures and Resources o Which type of results should be returned? No results All variants Only ACMG/medically actionable variants Create a study-specific list of variants to return, which might include:

• medically actionable, significant findings from that study (e.g., novel CVD risk factor identified in JHS), and/or

• conditions more frequent in that population (e.g., sickle cell disease/trait for African American studies like JHS)

Allow participants to select categories of interest (e.g., carrier status, cancer risk) o Who should determine which results are returned?

Research investigators Advisory board with community representatives, clinicians, investigators, bioethicists,

IRB members, etc. Participants decide individually which results they want to receive

o CLIA confirmation process – who pays (participant, study, research institution, participant’s insurance if applicable)? Is this the responsibility of the study, or should this be done by the participant during clinical follow-up with their primary care provider?

o Variant interpretation: Should the research team handle this task vs. send it out to a clinical lab to handle (i.e., “outsource” the interpretation)? How should interpretations be validated (since interpretations can vary between labs)? How much time and staff effort will interpretation require, and are funds available to pay for this as a part of the research study (e.g., salary support)?

o How frequently should variant interpretations be assessed (e.g., annually, never)? Should reinterpretation occur after the study ends? If so, how would this be handled?

o Genetic counseling: should the study pay for this vs. the participant vs. participant insurance (if available)? How should uncertainty be conveyed (e.g., variants of unknown significance, inconsistency in variant interpretation between labs)? Does a genetic counselor automatically need to be involved, or could some results be returned via a paper report or an educational web portal (e.g., like 23andMe or My46)?

o Participant re-contact: should study investigators do this vs. a genetic counselor vs. someone familiar to the participant like their primary care provider? How is re-contact handled so that re-contact does not automatically convey there is a “bad result” to report (i.e., since you’re asking about interest in receiving results it means there’s something to return)? How frequently should a participant’s preference to receive results be assessed

(e.g., only once - during consent, at consent + when results are ready to return, at consent + annually thereafter like during annual follow ups)?

• Perspectives from Stakeholders

o How best can a study support participants through the process of receiving results, some of which may be harmful (e.g., cancer risk) or traumatizing (e.g., Alzheimer’s) to receive? What has worked in other studies, and what would work in JHS?

o Which results do participants want to receive? How do they want to receive them? From whom (e.g., study investigator, genetic counselor, healthcare provider)?

o Should studies automatically return a participant’s results to their healthcare provider vs. let the participant decide whether to share with provider?

o Does a research study have an obligation to help healthcare providers, who would provide follow-on clinical support for genetic variants, understand the significance of a clinically relevant finding? If so, how can studies help educate healthcare providers about genomics?

o How should a study format the “report” that might be provided to a participant/healthcare provider? Would separate reports be needed for participant vs. healthcare provider? What content should be in such reports?

JHS 2017 Workshop on Return of Genetic Results

Glossary

ACMG: American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Founded in 1991, the College represents providers of genetic services including clinical, cytogenetic, medical, and molecular geneticists, genetic counselors, and other health care professionals committed to the practice of medical genetics. The current mission of the ACMG is to establish a paradigm of genomic medicine through policy statements and evidence-based practice guidelines; to provide education in an effort to grow the genetics workforce; and, to work with policymakers and payers to support the application of genomics into medical practice.

Allele: An alternative form of a gene or genetic element such as an enhancer. Alleles have been created by mutations and can be responsible for variations in a phenotype.

Chromosome: a structure within a cell made up of DNA and proteins that stores genetic information. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human genome. A chromosome abnormality is an extra and/or missing chromosome or part of a chromosome.

CLIA: Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 are United States federal regulatory standards on personnel and procedures that apply to all clinical laboratory testing performed on humans in the United States, except clinical trials and basic research. These standards require clinical laboratories to be certificated by their state as well as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can accept human samples for diagnostic testing. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulates all laboratory testing (except research) performed on humans in the U.S. through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).

DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid is a chemical that carries genetic information and is usually present in a cell as two paired complementary strands. Each strand is a chemical chain made up of four chemical units (abbreviated A, C, T, and G). Genes are carried in the form of a genetic code in a strand.

Gene: A unit of inheritance, normally made up of a region of DNA, that codes for a protein or for an RNA chain. A gene mutation is a change in the region of DNA that makes up a gene. This change can be as small as a single chemical unit (A, C, G, or T) in the DNA.

Genome: The complete set of genetic information in an organism. The genome provides all of the information an organism requires to develop and function. A genome includes protein-encoding genes, genes that do not encode proteins, the regulatory regions of genes, and sequences of DNA whose functions remain to be determined. The study and analysis of genomes is called genomics.

Genotype: An organism’s collection of genetic information that determines its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics or traits. “Genotype” is often used more specifically to describe the form of a particular variant that an individual carries.

11

Page 13: Jackson Heart Study Workshop: Return of Results from ...€¦ · updated guidelines from a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute working group. National Heart, Lung, and Blood

HIPAA: An acronym that stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a US law designed to provide privacy standards to protect patients' medical records and other health information provided to health plans, doctors, hospitals and other health care providers.

Penetrance: The proportion of organisms that carry a particular variant of a gene that also expresses the associated trait or phenotype. In medical genetics, penetrance refers to the proportion of individuals carrying a genotype that manifest a related trait or the symptoms of an illness.

Phenotype: The set of individual’s biological and physical traits, such as skin color and eye color, as well as complex traits such as blood pressure. “Phenotype” can also be used to describe a specific trait or condition.

Protein: A chemical made up of a chain of amino acids that is created when a gene is translated. There may also be post-translational modifications such as glycosylation (addition of a sugar molecule) or other processing.

RNA: Ribonucleic acid is a chemical that performs several functions in the cells, including acting as an “intermediate” message for a gene to be translated into a protein. RNA is composed of a chain of chemical units (abbreviated as A, C, G, and U) connected along a sugar-phosphate backbone.

TOPMed: Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine. Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed), sponsored by the National Institutes of Health's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is a program to generate scientific resources to enhance our understanding of fundamental biological processes that underlie heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders (HLBS). It is part of a broader Precision Medicine Initiative, which aims to provide disease treatments that are tailored to an individual’s unique genes and environment. TOPMed will contribute to this initiative through the integration of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and other –omics (e.g., metabolic profiles, protein and RNA expression patterns) data with molecular, behavioral, imaging, environmental, and clinical data. In doing so, this program seeks to uncover factors that increase or decrease the risk of disease, identify subtypes of disease, and help to develop more targeted and personalized treatments.

The Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) project is part of NHLBI’s TOPMed program and serves as an initial step for the larger initiative. In recent years, genetic research of complex disease using Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and Exome-sequencing approaches has resulted in an unprecedented explosion of genetic discovery. However, a large portion of heritability in complex diseases remains elusive. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) will provide a comprehensive view of the genome, an opportunity to further understand the genetic architecture relevant to heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders, and an unprecedented resource to the scientific community.

Trait: A physical, chemical, or biological feature of an organism, such as eye color and cholesterol levels. Traits are determined by genes, and complex traits may be modified by the environment.

Transcription (of genes): The process by which information in DNA is copied into RNA. Translation (of genes): The process by which genetic information is converted from an RNA message into a

protein.

Speakers, Moderators, and Breakout Leaders

Jonathan Berg, MD, PhD Jonathan S. Berg, MD, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). He also has a clinical appointment in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology–Oncology and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Berg graduated from Emory University with a BS in biology and completed the MD/PhD program at UNC in the curriculum in neuroscience. He subsequently underwent residency training in clinical genetics at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Berg is now a physician and researcher interested in the development and application of genetic tests in patients and their families. The recent revolution in genetic sequencing technology has led to an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the underlying etiology in families with genetic conditions, and yet it raises potential pitfalls that must be addressed in order to translate these new technologies into the practice of clinical genomics. Dr. Berg is particularly interested in the range of “incidental,” or “secondary,” findings that are discovered during the course of genome-scale sequencing, including the pre-test counseling and informed consent process; computational analysis required to determine the likely clinical relevance of variants; best practices for return of these findings to patients; and the impact of genomic findings on patients and their families. He is co-principal investigator of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants to investigate the use of genome-scale sequencing as a diagnostic test in patients with suspected genetic disorders, as a potential screening tool in healthy newborns, and to develop a publicly available database of clinically relevant genes and variants through the “ClinGen” project. He is also an investigator in the UNC Center for Genomics and Society, which was recently renewed as a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Center for Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research to evaluate the prospect of using genomics to improve the health of adults in the general public. Dr. Berg has led the development of a novel semi-quantitative metric that evaluates several key aspects of “actionability” to score gene–phenotype pairs in a transparent, unbiased fashion. This approach was adopted by the Evaluation of Genome Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP) Working Group as a means of approaching the problem of systematically evaluating the clinical utility of genomic information, and it is being studied as a way to guide the return of genomic findings in projects at UNC.

Julie Cohen, ScM, CGC Julie Cohen is a certified genetic counselor from Baltimore Maryland. She received her Master's degree from the Genetic Counseling Training Program at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and National Human Genome Research Institute. Julie is a senior genetic counselor at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in the Department of Neurology and Developmental Medicine, where she sees pediatric and adult patients with neurogenetic conditions and developmental disorders. Julie and her colleagues were early adopters of clinical exome sequencing, and she has extensive experience counseling, consenting, and returning results to patients and families.

Michael Murray, MD Dr. Mike Murray is board certified in Internal Medicine and Medical Genetics and he joined Geisinger Health System as the director of clinical genomics over four years ago after serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and as the clinical chief of genetics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston for nine years.

Mike was born and raised in Philadelphia PA. He earned his medical degree at Penn State Hershey, and went on to do additional training at Cleveland Clinic, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard Medical School.

At Geisinger he is leading the GenomeFIRST return of results program for the over 125,000 patient participants who undergo Genomic Sequencing as part of the MyCode Community Health Initiative. This project builds on the collaboration between Geisinger and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, but is funded outside of that research collaboration through internal Geisinger support, external grants, and generous donations.

The GenomeFIRST return of results program expects to deliver important risk information based on genetic sequence back to between 2-4% of MyCode participants in its initial phase. These risks primarily fall into the categories of either risk for cancer or cardiovascular disease. Geisinger is the first institution in the world to build the necessary infrastructure at the scale needed to deliver this kind of genomic results to this many patients and their providers, and to then assist the patients in getting their at-risk family members tested too. This program is expected to help define a best practice model for doing this new 21st century approach to care within healthcare systems everywhere.

Mike was one of the principal investigators on the Boston-based MedSeq project, and is an investigator in both the ClinGen and eMERGE project. He is also the lead editor of a genomics textbook for practicing clinicians, “Clinical Genomics: Practical Applications for Adult Patient Care” (McGraw Hill 2014 http://www.mheducation.ca/professional/products/9780071622448/).

Jerome Rotter, MD Dr. Rotter’s research is in the genetics of common, complex diseases, i.e. the earliest determinants of what are for the most part adult diseases but with the origins of their pathophysiology in childhood. He has contributed to our knowledge of the genetic basis of cardiometabolic disorders (atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias and EKG variation, blood pressure and hypertension, lipid disorders, nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, diabetic eye disease, and insulin resistance), autoimmune/inflammatory disorders (type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus, coeliac disease), eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy, keratoconus, glaucoma, macular degeneration, myopia), and pharmacogenetics (genetic determinants of response to a therapy). His work (which is intensively collaborative) has utilized a variety of paradigms, from family based, to case-control, to cohort, to pharmacogenetic studies, and from candidate gene, to family based linkage, to genome-wide association, to large scale specialized genotyping and sequencing. Dr. Rotter and colleagues have been especially active in multiethnic studies including those in Caucasian, Hispanic, African-Americans, Chinese, Armenian, and Jewish populations. In the process, they helped delineate the genetic architecture of diabetes and insulin resistance, and of blood pressure and hypertension, and of lipid disorders, in multiple ethnic groups. Dr. Rotter has published some 630 peer reviewed articles and over 150 other publications (reviews, chapters, editorials, letters), and 5 books, the most notable being the two editions of King, Rotter, and Moltulsky’s Genetic Basis of Common Diseases. The ultimate goal of this work is to identify the optimal therapy and prevention for cardiometabolic and ocular disorders as a function of an individual’s genetic predisposition. Thus this is the basis for precision/personalized medicine, especially in minority populations. Dr. Rotter serves on the External Advisory Boards of the Precision Medicine programs of two health systems, in Nevada (Nevada Institute for Personalized Medicine), and South Dakota (Sanford Imagenetics). He serves on the Steering Committees of TOPMed (PI of MESA WGS TOPMed and the TOPMed Multi-Omics projects; also a convener of the diabetes and lipid working groups, respectively), CHARGE (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology; chair, Genotyping Committee), and MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis; chair, Genetics Committee; PI of MESA Family and MESA SHARE GWAS studies).
